Session #96 · 1979–81

Speech #960338154

I think. as my colleague. the gentleman from Ohio has pointed out. it tends to lead to an imbalance in this Chamber that the Founding Fathers did not intend when they wrote the constitutional amendment that covers this question. It leaves this House in a peculiar imbalance. and it leaves the question of adequate representation undecided. Nevertheless. we are in the closing days of this session. I want to point out that every time the House has had an opportunity to speak on this issue. it has passed legislation that has said Illegal aliens and aliens may not be counted as if they were citizens. Nevertheless. as we come down to the closing days on a continuing resolution. I suppose we have to recognize the facts of life.
